We are so fortunate to receive these teachings from Ven. Zasep Tulku Rinpoche!
From Buddha Weekly’s YouTube video of Ven. Zasep Tulku Rinpoche: Chöd Teaching: Cutting Attachments with Profound Bodhichitta Practice: How, Why, Where to Practice:
Chöd means to cut through the truly-existent “I”. Chöd practice is an advanced skillful method that enables practitioners to become free of this clinging to the belief and false notion in a truly existent individual self.
The teachings and practice of Chöd are an advanced and effective means to help us cut our ego, tame our mental defilements and develop pure unconditional Bodhichitta for all sentient beings.
According to the Gelug tradition, Chöd practice is aimed at enhancing our meditation on the three principal paths of Lam Rim: Renunciation, Bodhichitta and Shunyata wisdom. By combining both method and wisdom — Bodhichitta practice and meditation on Emptiness — Chöd is considered one of the most advanced practices in Esoteric Buddhism.
